From edf3f301db7af7e784d06f7059dfc8a69359af13 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Feras Daoud Date: Mon, 10 Jul 2017 18:45:41 +0300 Subject: IB/ipoib: Fix race between light events and interface restart A potential race between light_event and interface restart may attach multicast group to an already attached QP. Scenario: light_event flow goes through ipoib_mcast_dev_flush function, if a context switch occurs before calling ipoib_mcast_remove_list, then we may face a situation where the broadcast of the priv is null and the corresponding QP is not detached yet. If an "interface restart" runs during the previous context switch, the following scenario occurs: When the device goes up, ipoib_ib_dev_up function will be called, it will send a new registration request to the broadcast group and then attach the group to the QP that was not detached before.
